Windows 10’s Photos app is a great way to organize and share your photos with friends and family. But how do you compare photos side by side? To compare photos side by side, open the Photos app and select a photo. On the right, select “Compare Side by Side.” Photos will now show two versions of the same photo: the original photo on the left, and a copy on the right that has been cropped to fit within the window. You can drag and drop each photo to change their position on the screen. To merge the two photos into one, click on either one of them and then click “Merge.” The merged photo will appear in the center of the screen. ..


If you’d like to compare two photos side by side, to find their quality differences or anything else, you can use Windows 11’s built-in Photos app. We’ll show you how to quickly compare two or more photos with this application.
